Strut Bar....when and why?
A "For Sale" thread got me thinking about add-ons....
2002, AEM intake. Still new to the car (< 1 month) and loving it. Still increasing my speed around the corners to test the limits. Under what conditions does the strut bar come into play? Is it only a track thing, or will I notice a diff taking the street corners at 35 miles per hour? Thanks in advance....
I don't think I'll ever S/C the car....after all, how fast can I go without landing in jail or the ground. But HANDLING improvements....perhaps.
Oh, and coming out of a drift: step on the gas? I have to come clean.... On a test drive earlier this summer, had a young salesman with me who let me put the car through it's paces. Made the loop once, he offered to drive it again. I got a little too aggressive around a corner, the rear broke loose on a downhill curve, I hit the brakes, and slid across the road, impacting the opposite embankment at about 5 miles per hour...just enough to scratch the bottom of the front cowling...and thank God there wasn't a car coming the other way. Guess I need a HPDE course (anyone know of one coming up in SOCAL?).
Sorry for the length...and the ramble. Tim
